  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WP602 Internal error: no data for IDoc & in container
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs during the processing of an IDoc (Intermediate Document) in SAP when the system expects certain data in the IDoc container but finds it missing or incomplete. The "container" here refers to the internal data structure that holds the IDoc data during processing.
  Common causes include:
  
  The IDoc is incomplete or corrupted.
  The IDoc segments required for processing are missing.
  The IDoc was not properly populated before processing.
  A mismatch between the expected IDoc type and the actual IDoc data.
  Custom or standard function modules processing the IDoc expect certain data that is not present.
  Issues in ALE/EDI interface where the IDoc data is not correctly transferred or mapped.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the IDoc Status and Data:
  
  Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to display the IDoc.
  Verify if all required segments and fields are present and correctly filled.
  Look for any missing or incomplete data in the IDoc.
  
  
  
  Verify the IDoc Type and Message Type:
  
  Ensure the IDoc type corresponds to the expected message type and process.
  Check the partner profiles (transaction WE20) for correct configuration.
  
  
  
  Check the Processing Function Module:
  
  Identify the function module processing the IDoc (from the status records or partner profile).
  Debug the function module to see where the container data is missing.
  Ensure that the function module is correctly handling the IDoc data.
  
  
  
  Reprocess or Recreate the IDoc:
  
  If the IDoc is incomplete or corrupted, try to regenerate or resend the IDoc.
  Use transaction BD87 to reprocess the IDoc after corrections.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Enhancements or User Exits:
  
  If custom code is involved in IDoc processing, verify that it correctly handles the container data.
  Debug or review custom enhancements for missing data handling.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for SAP Notes related to WP602 or IDoc processing errors.
  Apply any relevant patches or corrections.

  IDoc Basics:
  
  IDocs are structured data containers used for asynchronous data exchange.
  Each IDoc consists of control records, data segments, and status records.
  Proper population of IDoc segments is critical for successful processing.
  
  
  
  Debugging Tips:
  
  Set breakpoints in the function module processing the IDoc.
  Check the contents of the IDoc container (IDOC_DATA or similar structures).
  Trace the flow to identify where data is expected but missing.
